I yet again walk in a blissful valley of peacefully flowing river, of endless sight, of warm sunshine, of glowing grass and blooming flowers, of blue sky and white clouds, of serene village life and adventurous mud road, of untold stories and some historic memories. As I walk by the river bank falling in love with every moment passing by under the golden sunshine, I am reminded of the eternal beauty of this wonderful earth which never stops to surprise us. We humans have created huge expectations of a 'Beautiful' world, sometimes overlooking the little joys of exploring and discovering the simplistic beauty of a neighboring land. If explored with a open mind and joyful heart you will discover beauty in every corner of the earth. P.S. - This valley with a river was outside my Airbnb stay in Kandy.

Temple of the Tooth
The Royal Botanical Gardens were a great place to visit large spaces for a picnic and beautiful trees and shrubs. The avenues of palm trees are spectacular and the fernery such a lovely, shady place to escape the heat. Our favourite part by far are the trees the fruit bats call home; listen, and look up – you'll ear them chattering, and see them hanging upside down with their furry bodies turned to the sun, every so often you'll see one or two stretch their wings, or even fly from one roost to another. These bats, unlike most bats, fly by sight not radar – something I didn't know until I visited this most beautiful park. #localsecrets
